Punjab State Cooperative Bank Clerk Exam 2021<\/a>: It was not so long ago when PSCB made the headlines after announcing the new vacancies available for multiple banking jobs. The official notification was released on April 28, 2021. Even the registrations are not live anymore. The last date (extended) for filling out the application was June 4, 2021. A total of 856 vacancies are being provided via this exam. However, there is not too much information out there about these exams but we have tried our best to cover all the relevant details PSCB aspirants should be aware of.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exam dates are still awaited for PSCB but one can\u2019t really afford to delay the preparations anymore. Here are all the details about the syllabus and exam pattern which you should be aware of by now: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

PSCB will surely be a preferable job choice for many of the Punjabi aspirants as it only requires you to clear one round of examination. With other banking exams, you generally have to surpass two to three rounds of examination. For example, for SBI Clerk you are expected to crack both prelims and mains. In PSCB, if you crack the paper once you are done. You can expect your offer or joining letter soon enough by the responsible authority.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exam Pattern Analysis <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The exam is very well designed by giving fair weightage of marks for every subject. The subjects chosen are very relevant to the job profile of a clerical candidate. Every subject is allotted 15 marks each except for the general awareness and banking awareness section. The GA section is valued at 25 marks. The pattern with PSCB<\/a> is such that it looks like a combined mini version of prelims and mains of other banking exams such as SBI and IBPS. It\u2019s really a mix of the subjects served on a single platter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Syllabus Analysis <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nearly every PSCB job announced has the same syllabus except for the job of Senior Manager. The syllabus for clerk examination is way too vast. However, this will have some disadvantages because of the limited number of questions asked.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
